Under a canopy of golden leaves
A solitary bench highlights the seclusion
Of lovers past and lovers still to be

Poems and Petals
Poems and petals
Spread their fragrance all around –
Power in their peace
I’ve changed my blog from Passion Through Poetry to Poems and Petals. Because poetry. And petals.
I Remember
Memories filter back into my mind
Those sweet caresses stolen over time
Your hands exploring every subtle curve –
For brief moments we melted into one.
You have slipped away, but I still can
Remember.
Breathing
I could feel her breathing next to me
A gentle rhythmic soft hum
Curled in my arms I held her hand
A body filled with life
And I felt glad
Omigosh!
Two years ago I was posting to Facebook, being all excited about writing and being really weird. Facebook sends me notifications everyday of ‘this day in the past’. This morning I was horrified to see my weird posts from two years ago. Omigosh, all I can say is thank you to WordPress readers who have been reading me for two years. Some of my early WordPress posts have been just as weird. I’m feeling somewhat embarrassed about my over-the-top, clumsy and strange Facebook and blogging posts. That’s the thing about writing and blogging. We start at a certain point, and then we begin to grow. Evolve. It’s interesting and sometimes a bit scary to look back and see how we were then, and how we are now. I started blogging as a challenge. Because I wanted to write. I discovered I love writing. And poetry! Poetry is awesome.
Kaleidoscope
Looking to the future
And it’s secrets untold
Fills me with a fear
And anguish of old
Can I look past the pain
To see something new
Can I forget my regrets
Bidding them all adieu?
My heart fills with love
With sweetness and hope
Miracles start to shine –
My celestial kaleidoscope
The Light
When all around is dark
And all you know is night
Feel the hope within
And move towards the light
When sadness overwhelms
And you have lost your sight
A few gentle steps
Moving towards the light
When wounds begin to heal
We sense that near delight
Stirs our waking heart
Embracing inner light
When happiness is found
And all is calm and bright
Ever keep on reaching
Onwards towards the light
My very first poem – 13 October 2013
Falling Tears
Angry clouds loom
Casting shadows –
The steps I take
Are darkened by the
Absence of sun
No light shining
Today
As the tears fall
I wipe them away
Raging Battle
Flesh and spirit
At war
One against the other
I thirst
From the battle that
Rages on
I long for waters
To satisfy
My soul pleads
For rest
For peace
For grace
Watch Over Me
For all my failings
Weaknesses and more
You are my strength
The one that I adore
I am your child
So Lord I pray
Walk beside me
Watch over me today
